The Wicked Horse Vegas #3
Wicked Envy
The best of friends.
Two men. One woman.
A sinful playground called The Wicked Horse.
I’ve been known to get my kicks at The Wicked Horse, and I have no shortage of beautiful women waiting to get a shot at me. Driven to succeed no matter if I’m in the boardroom or the bedroom, I am not one to back down from a challenge.
What started as an idea has evolved into a multi-million-dollar enterprise I share with my two best friends, Avril Carrigan and Andrew Collings. Avril isn’t the type of woman to take risks in her personal life but after a broken heart and too much liquid courage, she decides the best way to get over one man is to get under another. Looking to experience all the debauchery she’s heard about, Avril makes a request—that Andrew and I take her to The Wicked Horse.
The request seems simple. Friends helping one another in their time of need. But now that we’ve crossed the threshold, things aren’t as easy as they once seemed. Now I see Avril in a new light, and I suspect Andrew feels the same. As my attraction grows, I have to wonder if I made the right decision when I agreed to introduce Avril to my wicked world.
Now that the lines of friendship have blurred and boundaries have been crossed, I’m not sure our friendship will survive the jealousy threatening to tear it apart.

Holy smokes! This book is a scorcher!! I don't know how Ms. Bennett does it, but the books in this series just keep getting hotter and hotter. Wicked Envy is a sizzling romance that kept me reading, smiling and blushing all throughout. It’s addictive, blindingly hot and kinky, emotional with some turmoil and ultimately sweet. Yes, absolutely sweet!
Let’s start. In the prologue, we meet the three amigos, two guys and a girl, when they’re in college. The story though, actually begins with them still inseparable seventeen years later when Dane Hawthorne has used his genius and ambition that match his gorgeous good looks to build a million dollar business together with his best friends Avril Carrigan and Andrew Collings.
Dane is commanding and cocky, and doesn’t need help with the ladies, but his abandonment issues have led him to indulge in the no string debauchery provided at the Wicked Horse Vegas. On the other end of the spectrum is Andrew who’s looking for true love while Abril had been in a long-term relationship until her upsetting breakup.
Wanting to get over the shock and heartbreak through the Wicked Horse’s pleasures she’s heard about, she asks her best friends to take her. Dane is reluctant but knows he can’t stop her, but Andrew is game to check it out as well. When all three of them enter the decadent place where any desire can become a sinful reality, their once very platonic relationship shifts but will this change bring them closer or will envy and jealousy rip them apart?
No matter what she writes, Sawyer Bennett has the ability to draw you into a story and produce many emotions. Given its nature, Wicked Envy has its epically hot and extra kinky moments among the three friends and between the couple that ultimately find their happiness together. But just like its predecessors, there’s more. There are many sweet, honest and touching moments between the three friends.
I really enjoyed the dynamic between the three, how they got along with one another whether it was Dane protecting Avril in his way, Andrew being Avril’s confidant, Dane and Andrew’s bromance or the three of the together as a tight knit unit. The story unfolds showing us how they help each other and for two of them to find true love. It was an intense combination of eroticism and romance.
I suggest you read this story with an open mind. It’s a great ride with a good dose of kink but an even bigger amount of affection and love. I really hope that there’s a story for the lone guy in the near future in this series.
Wicked Envy is the book #3 in the Wicked Horse Vegas series by Sawyer Bennett. It is a standalone erotic romance that will push your limits in the most wickedly sinful and sexy way. Told from several points of view (ménage M/f/M) and with a happy ending that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

Wicked Envy is the story of three friends discovering their most intimate desires. Dane, Avril, and Andrew are an unusual group of friends but have been close since college. Always there for one another they even went into business together and now are pretty much inseparable. So when Avril is dealing with a heartbreak and decides to explore her sexuality more at The Wicked Horse, a Vegas sex club, Dane and Andrew are right there with her.
These characters sucked me in and I loved that this story showed how much they grew. Avril especially had my admiration and I liked getting to see her take such a big chance in life and succeed with it. I was rooting for her to get her happy ending and she had me captivated the whole entire book.
Sawyer Bennett certainly did not skimp on the sexiness in this book. It was an intense, and passionate tale that had me on the edge of my seat. This series and the original Wicked Horse series is definitely one of my favorites from Ms. Bennett because of that. Somehow this series just keeps getting better so I can't wait to get the next book.

“My two heroes.
I love these guys.
I hope we never lose this friendship.”
I have read every single book to date in The Wicked Horse Vegas series and I have loved the tantalising and sinful world Sawyer Bennett has creating thus far. Wicked Envy is by far the hottest one in the series and I loved every minute of it. This sizzling friends-to-lovers story had the perfect mix of humor, steam, intrigue and jealousy that kept me completely invested in the storyline and the characters, who have some hard decisions to make.
Is The Wicked Horse Vegas worth losing your two best friends over?
Three best friends, Dane, Avril and Andrew have been joined at the hip ever since they attended Berkeley College together. They are completely different, but together they just work. Dane is the man whore of the group and with his striking good looks, he knows he can land any girl he desires and is a ‘different girl each night’ kind of guy. Avril is a self-proclaimed plain girl; she is the brains of the group and is neither looking for a one night stand nor a relationship. Andrew however, is the typical southern Californian surfer who is the romantic of the group and a ‘one woman, one man’ kind of guy.
Seventeen years later they are not only still the bestest of friends, but also business partners at a multi-million dollar corporation. Dane is confident, arrogant and uses these traits to his advantage. Growing up in the foster care system has resulted in Dane having abandonment, trust and commitment issues. He finds his solitude within the walls of The Wicked Horse Vegas club, where he can full fill his needs of no strings attached steamy sex.
Needing an escape from the pain and heartbreak Avril is suffering, she convinces Dane to introduce her to the club she has heard so much about. Avril is in need of pleasure and an escape from the pain she is going through. Dane is reluctant at first, but Andrew, whose love life has taken a downward spiral, is also eager to check out The Wicked Horse Vegas.
"I'm okay with a threesome because that seems the most impersonal to me. You're okay with the threesome and you want time with her alone, because you're feeling something you've never felt before. And Avril wants us both in any way she can have us. This spells fucking disaster."
There in-lies the problem; when you take three best friends who have never been anything other than platonic and mix sex, seduction and intrigue, feelings are going to get hurt and jealousy is going to emerge. When the lines of friendship become blurred, will the three musketeers survive or will their friendship be forever tarnished?
I am a huge fan of this series and The Wicked Horse Vegas just keeps getting better and hotter… so bring on Wicked Choice, which is due for release on January 2nd.
Wicked Envy was not just a story about sex and debauchery, it was so much more… a beautiful friendship was shared and you know for certain, it'll last forever.
I read this story at just the right moment, it was absolutely what I was searching for and if you would love nothing more than to be captivated by Sawyer Bennett’s skilful writing, and want to dive head first into a hot and steamy friends to lovers story, then I could not recommend this one enough. Is two a company or is three a crowd?
October 22, 2017
Is three really a crowd? Or could it be a recipe for even more hotness to ensue? This series continues to explore sexual boundaries and push right past them. In this installment, three best friends explore their relationship outside of the confines of their mutual love and friendship. Pushing past those boundaries opens them up to discover truths they may never have scratched the surface of.
Here's what I loved: The book is undeniably hot. As with all the books in this series, there are quite a bit of steamy scenes. These are taken up a level or two since, the characters are exploring a triangle relationship.
I enjoyed the dynamic between Andrew, Dane, and Avril. They love and respect on a basic level. While there’s an underlying attraction, neither of them wanted to damage their most important relationship, friendship.
I particularly loved Dane. I’m all for the dark, strong, commanding type. He fit the bill perfectly. Avril is also impressive, in that, she owns her femininity and strength as a sexual being. She didn’t buy into the whole male ego BS Dane and Andrew initially threw at her.
Overall, this book is a win, but I did have an issue initially getting into it. It seemed to be a little too much history and exposition. Also, I felt the actual Wicked Horse setting got lost eventually. Just my two cents. But other than that, another fine addition to the series. I’m anxiously awaiting more.

This series just keeps getting hotter and hotter.
I just love this series so much I can't get enough of it. The stories just keep getting better and better. There getting hotter and hotter with every book. You just can't help but love them. Once I started up this book I just couldn't put it down. I don't even read the blurb anymore cause I just know I 'll love anything from this series.
This book is about 3 best friends Dane Avril and Andrew. They met in college and have been friends since. When Dane started his own company there was only to people he want to help him and that was Avril and Andrew. They are so quite different in personalities but they work so well together. Dane is a bit of a playboy woman love him he also doesn't do relationships so he has a pretty great life. Andrew is a bit more quiet he had a relationship but things didnt really go well but he has his best friends and he works very hard at his job. Avril worked so hard on college so she didn't have time for anything to do with men the only men in her life was Dane and Andrew and that's all she need.
Now there older and there still very close. Life is great for all 3 of them they have gorgeous house have enough money to do what they want and the jobs they dreamt of. Only there love life was much to talk about Dane was still doing what he did. Andrews wasn't nothing to arrive home about. Avril had to deal with a crappy break up. Dane is a member of The Wicked Horse and had been with quite a few women so he wanted to get Andrew there to get him so action. Only Dane didn't expect Avril up for it. The men are very protective over Avril and they always have been so goin to The Wicked Horse was not and option. Only they didn't have a say she needed to experience something different and they were not goin to stand in her way.
I really enjoyed how this story went it was great seeing how this threesome would work when they throw in sexual attraction. I had my favourite make from the start and I was happy with how it ended. I always get a lil worried when there's a love triangle cause I end up liking one of the hero's more and if they don't get the girl I m gutted but I was super happy with this book. It's a very hot sexy story which I really enjoyed see how they all dealt with the change was good. I would highly recommend this book I loved everything about it.

WICKED ENVY (The Wicked Horse Vegas, #3) by Sawyer Bennett should be read using oven mitts! This is a menage-between-friends scorcher with a sizzling romance story and the extra benefit of mind-blowing sex throughout. This is definitely a keeper to read over and over on cold winter nights, or rainy spring nights, or in an air-conditioned summer bedroom at night, or on a crisp fall night with a cool breeze blowing in the windows.
Dane Hawthorne is a brilliant entrepreneur. After being raised in the foster care system, he starts his own biotech company that is worth millions and is on the brink of an invention that will change medical testing forever. In college, he met his two best friends, Avril and Andrew. The three are inseparable. Dane brings Avril into his company as the CFO and Andrew as the head of scientific development. Seventeen years after meeting, with all of life’s ups and downs, they are still together.
Avril Carrigan walks in on her finance with another woman in their bed. After listening in on Dane, who is a long time member at The Wicked Horse trying to get Andrew to the club, Avril decides that that is just what she needs to get over her anger and hurt. She wants to let loose and The Wicked Horse sounds like the perfect place.
As the three experience the debauchery at The Wicked Horse individually, they soon realize they want to experience it with each other, but that is crossing a huge line that could affect their long standing friendships forever.
I love that this story is told in all three POVs because each friend brings a different personal reality to the relationship. The friends have a strong bond that changes and matures as the sexual and romantic relationships grow. Ms. Bennett surprised me with the two that become a romantic couple. She handled the other friend’s leaving the sexual menage with compassion and wisdom on his part. The sex in this book is explicit, kinky and frank. This is my favorite Wicked Horse Vegas book to date and I am looking forward to many more.

Dane, Andrew and Avril have been the best of friends for over 17 years. They met in College and just clicked.
After college Dane asked Andrew and Avril to come join him in his new company, and now those three run the most famous biotech company in the world.
Avril just kicked out her boyfriend of three years and now she's looking for something new in her life.
Enter Dane and his membership to the Wicked Horse.
Avril and Andrew want to tag along with him one night, but Dane doesn't want his friends showing up there - it would make things weird.
But of course they don't listen to him - they go without him.
But Dane is there too - watching them doing things with other people ....
And suddenly things are different ....
Will the friendship survive the Wicked Horse?
WHAT WiLL HAPPEN TO DANE, ANDREW & AVRIL????
WiLL THE 3 OF THEM GET A HEA?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!!!☺
═══════════════════
...another Wicked Horse book!
And it was just as erotic as the others. Phew! ☺
Lots of ménage-y moments! *IsItHotInHere?*
I really enjoyed reading it! You just had to keep on reading to find out if and how those three would find their happily ever after. Or if it would destroy everything.
Destroying a 17-year-old friendship is obviously not what they want, but how can they seperate what happens in the Wicked Horse from how they act around each other at work?
It won't be easy.
But I kinda loved how it all turned out in the end ;)
Great 3rd book in this Vegas series!
Can't wait to see who will tell us their story in the next book!!!
WICKED ENVY was an another extremely erotic & adorable book in this Wicked Horse spin-off series! Can't wait for more!!!
P.S. You think I forgot about my Sawyer AS rant. Nope, but I just thought I'd give up for now - it's not bothering anyone other than me and it's never going to change anyway! If you don't know what I'm talking about - check out any of my Sawyer reviews on goodreads☺

I really like this series!!!
It is sexy, erotic and this one had a really interesting storyline.
If you aren't into erotica this might take you out of your comfort zone.

Wicked Envy was the third book in the Wicked Horse series by Sawyer Bennett.
Wicked Envy was the story of three people, Dane Hawthorne, Andrew Collings, and Avril Carrigan; whom all met at college and became best friends for life. They are all brilliant and became billionaires through a company that Dane founded.
The story was told with multiple POV’s: Dane, Avril and Andrew’s. The Wicked Horse, a sex club, was relevant but took a back seat to the main storyline this time. Bennett provided insight into the three unique personalities to explain why they were each the way they were. She also detailed how the relationship worked so well and roles within them. At first the storyline was clinical to me and lacked connection. However, as the storyline was nearing the end, I began to feel the emotion and connection. As a result, I gave a 3.5 Rating, which rounds up to a 4 on this review site.
In the end, I loved Dane and Avril together. I also loved the unexpected twist that Bennett threw in. It added a complexity that I desired. Additionally, I’m now desiring more from Andrew but I don’t want to include any spoilers, so I won’t elaborate further. Until then, we return back to the Wicked Horse to finish the series in Wicked Choice.

4.5 Stars!
Dane Hawthorne, Andrew Collins, & Avril Carrigan met in college their freshman year at Berkeley. They became roommates & the best of friends. The three were inseparable and are as close as family. All three are brilliant, and now work together as business partners in Nevada running a BioTech company called Caterva. They are all extremely wealthy & very successful, but none have found someone special to share their life with.
Dane grew up in foster care & doesn’t trust easily. After being abandoned as a child, he’s guarded & doesn’t do love or commitments. Andrew is the lover and dreamer of the trio, & is still looking for the right woman. Avril just went through a bad break up, & needs a change. She knows Dane is a member at The Wicked Horse sex club in Vegas, and asks him to take her to check it out. She needs a distraction & some fun, but Dane initially says no. Dane & Andrew have always been Avril’s protector’s.
After 17 years of friendship Dane, Andrew, & Avril have never been anything but platonic. They’ve never gone there or risked they’re friendship, but when they all end up at The Wicked Horse together, lines get blurred, & things turn intimate. There’s always been a comfort & closeness between them. There’s a connection & trust that’s been developed over the years, but this is totally new territory for them all. Suddenly both men are seeing Avril in a new light. Their bond grows even stronger as they explore new connections with one another.
-What’s happening to you and me is something different, and we didn’t plan on this.
-“I’ve never felt this way about a woman.”
-I want him in every way possible.
Soon romantic feelings develop & two of the friends begin feeling something deeper. Boundaries were set to protect their hearts, but as two friends begin to fall in love can they navigate this new relationship without destroying the friendships. There’s an indescribable bond, incredible pleasure, jealously, & deep emotion as these friends try to define & explore their relationships with one another.
I love this whole series! It’s unbelievably hot & oh so delicious! I adored these three and the beautiful friendship they share.

She knows Dane is a member at The Wicked Horse sex club in Vegas, and asks him to take her to check it out. She needs a distraction & some fun, but Dane initially says no. Dane & Andrew have always been Avril’s protector’s.
After 17 years of friendship Dane, Andrew, & Avril have never been anything but platonic. They’ve never gone there or risked they’re friendship, but when they all end up at The Wicked Horse together, lines get blurred, & things turn intimate. There’s always been a comfort & closeness between them. There’s a connection & trust that’s been developed over the years, but this is totally new territory for them all. Suddenly both men are seeing Avril in a new light. Their bond grows even stronger as they explore new connections with one another.
-What’s happening to you and me is something different, and we didn’t plan on this.
-“I’ve never felt this way about a woman.”
-I want him in every way possible.
Soon romantic feelings develop & two of the friends begin feeling something deeper. Boundaries were set to protect their hearts, but as two friends begin to fall in love can they navigate this new relationship without destroying the friendships. There’s an indescribable bond, incredible pleasure, jealously, & deep emotion as these friends try to define & explore their relationships with one another.
I love this whole series! It’s unbelievably hot & oh so delicious! I adored these three and the beautiful friendship they share.

Three best friends and business partners who run a biotech company together decide to take a visit to the Wicked horse sex club. Dane Hawthorne thought it was an erotic experience to watch both of his BFF's Avril Carrigan and Andrew Collings enjoy the pleasures available at the Wicked horse with separate partners and in different rooms of course. Not being able to resist the temptation of taking Avril to his bed where they begin to explore each other and ultimately pull Andrew in for a threesome which they all enjoy until feelings start to get involved. I really liked the characters all very different from each other giving something more to the relationship. The story line was interesting and the sex was very pantie wetting and hot. Personally there were 2 scenes in the book that made me cringe a little but all over this was a good hot read.

*sigh*
Welp, this is my last book in this series. I'm not continuing it.
The only reason I started this series was because I read the synopsis for this book. I thought this was going to be a MFM, with an HEA with the throuple...
But nope. Halfway through the audiobook, the author suddenly realized she wanted to write a love story about a couple instead, and dropped one of them out of the relationship...
Like what?
The whole reason I picked this up was to see 3 best friends fall in love... And you separated one of them away and turned it into a last minute love story between 2 of them?
You do not respect me as a reader.
Goodbye!

Scorching friends to lovers tale….
Whew! It’s another stop at the Wicked Horse and the heat is scorching! I love this author’s sexy, emotional stories and this trio of friends had my attention right from the start.
“Anyone that hurts you gets hurt in return. Simple as that.”
Avril, Andrew and Dane have been friends for seventeen years. They went to school together, went into business together and knew each other better than any family ever could. They were friends, you couldn’t find anyone more supportive or loyal than these three. Yet when Avril found herself at an emotional crossroads, she dared cross that friendship line and the results were eye-opening as well as thermometer-melting…
“It’s unshackling from inhibition. It’s about truly discovering exactly who you are…”
This story was amazing! I had no idea where this author was taking me and that added just the right amount of uncertainty to make this romance even more unique. The characters were easy to like as the bonds they’d formed through the years was unshakeable. Or was it? Oh yes, nothing was a given as each had to work through their personal issues and thoughts before committing back to a new reality. One where there was three but also a two and a one…
“By the time I left her room last night, there wasn’t an inch of her skin I hadn’t licked or bitten…”
The Wicked Horse was a sexy catalyst and background for this hot and heavy relationship – one you won’t want to miss! ~Diane

Three best friends. Sex. Mix it all up and what do you have? Wicked Envy!
If this series can get any better, Sawyer Bennett adds friends with benefits in the mix! Dane, Avril & Andrew are the best of friends for a long time ago. After some event, Avril decide to embrace her sexuality and explore her dirty mind at a sex club. What will follow is most probably not what she thought it would be but one experience that could threaten what she cherishes the most.
Once again, I didn't read the blurb. I usually go completely blind because Sawyer Bennett is an author I trust no matter what. I did hear some rumors about the book so I already have expectations for certain scenes that could happen. WRONG! Sawyer did it again! Yep she manages to entirely surprise me with her plot and how the story unfolds. I could have never guessed how it would end and I love every minute of it!
The bond Dane, Avril & Andrew have is strong and even if I wanted more of their time together, it was quite obvious how they care for each other.
If you haven't guess already Wicked Envy is an erotic book. The sex is everywhere and it's getting hotter page after page. There was a certain Kynan is some part of the book and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. At this point I'm nearly begging to finally have his book.

I did not want to put this sinfully hot book down! I would tell myself over and over again, just one more chapter, but I just couldn't get enough of Dean, Avril, and Andrew! Wicked Envy is my favorite book in this series so far, and though it is book 3, it can definitely be read as a standalone.
Friends to lovers is one of my absolute favorite tropes, and this book did not disappoint! For those readers wary of love triangles, fear not! I actually wouldn't classify this as a traditional love triangle book. To me, it's more a story about true friendship and the love between 3 people. Best friends since college, Dean, Avril, and Andrew, all work together at Dane's successful biotech company, Caterva, in Las Vegas. They are loyal, protective, supportive, and loving to each other (in a platonic way), until curiosity and a bad break-up sends them to The Wicked Horse sex club. This exploration opens their eyes and turns their worlds upside down. Can friendship really survive unscathed, after lines and boundaries are crossed?
I really enjoyed all three characters in this book. Dane was a fantastic broken alpha. On the one hand he is assertive and cocky (both in and out of the bedroom!), but on the other he is incredibly vulnerable and insecure. Your heart will break as his past is revealed and you see why he has guarded himself so much. Andrew was so sweet and genuine. I loved how supportive he always was of his friends and that through it all, he stayed true to himself and his ideals/beliefs. Avril was intelligent, driven, and unapologetic once she unlocked a side of herself at The Wicked Horse. When these three decide to move past just friendship, I thought for sure that my kindle would burst into flames from the scorching heat! It all works so deliciously well - one on one with Avril or all three together.
Yes, there is the inevitable push and pull as insecurities get the better of our characters, but I liked that the angst and drama wasn't over the top and excessive. In many ways, it was necessary to show the transformation of our characters and the strength of their friendship. The epilogue was absolutely wonderful and brought the story full circle. I can't recommend this incredibly hot and kinky friends to lovers romance enough!

I’m a huge fan of this dirtier side of Sawyer Bennett that comes through in the Wicked Horse series, and Wicked Envy was my favorite of the Las Vegas branch of the Wicked Horse club by far. Some of the earlier books limited themselves to the actions occurring at the club itself, but Wicked Envy really branched out. The club was the venue that brought out the kinky connection between the characters and allowed them to explore a new relationship, but it wasn’t the star of the show. It was just the common element that bound it to the earlier stories.
In Wicked Envy, we meet Dane, Andrew and Avril. Three best friends from college that have maintained their thick-as-thieves closeness throughout college, a start up business, and now corporate success. But as two of the friends start to explore the Wicked Horse at the urging of the third, their friendship turns to even more.
I absolutely love the friends to lovers theme. There’s something so sweet about watching people that already care about one another start to look at their existing relationship in a new way. But at the same time, it’s terribly taboo, stepping over a line that was never meant to be crossed. In this book, not only is there the transition from comfortable friendship to sizzling hot lovers, there is also the added dimension of a sex club and a threesome. Watching Avril’s relationship with both Dane and Andrew grow, as well as her relationship with each one individually, was a pleasure to watch. I expected there to be jealousy and angst as all of their relationship’s morphed and inevitably changed, but that never materialized. Instead, I got the hot as hell kink I wanted to see, the dirty talk and comfort, as well as the ending I had hoped for.
Wicked Envy was a great addition to the Wicked Horse stable, and I can’t wait to see how this series continues to burn up my kindle!

***AVAILABLE NOW - FULL REVIEW***
4 Wicked CROWNS
Best friends who have never crossed the line. All attractive. All intelligent. All young and virile with sexual appetites to match. This has all the makings of another seductive addition to the Wicked Horse Vegas series, and Wicked Envy certainly delivers.
The three main characters, Dane, Avril, and Andrew have been friends since college. Completely brilliant, innovative, and successful, these three seem to have the biotech world at their fingertips. From the beginning the dynamic of their relationship is unique. They both protect Avril in different ways. Andrew emotionally soothes her and Dane physically rescues her. The dynamic works for them and at the beginning, it is platonic, at least until the Wicked Horse comes into play. From the minute they enter one of my favorite worlds, the friendship begins to morph and shift into something else, something more dangerous and seductive. Sawyer Bennett, even as her characters change an evolve from their time together and their time at the club, keeps their evolution true to their characters.
Love triangles or multiple lovers is a hard story line for me. It usually becomes clear that one of them is not like the other two. The hot moments between the three evolve into intimate moments between the two with a new outsider. Not that this bothers me, but it I usually clear who the outsider will be, and in the case of Wicked Envy, it is pretty clear from the get go who will be left out. Now, I’m torn between the reaction to the dissolution of the threesome. On one side, I like the low angst, but the lack of feeling connected makes the passion between the three seem a tad disingenuous. I would suspect, though, that Sawyer Bennett never meant for this to be the main conflict, but the impetus for the larger conflict looming ahead. While the main conflict is initiated by an unexpected event, the reaction of the characters is expected, as we’ve been told about the proclivities and desires. Sawyer Bennett, as always, leaves readers in a good place.
Wicked Envy is another passionate and sexy addition to the Vegas spin-off. I always enjoy returning to my favorite club and seeing what mischief characters can get up to within its walls, and this installment delivers on everting we have come to expect from this author and this alluring world.

I thought this was really good and super hot. It also surprised me - I totally thought I knew where things were going, but I got it wrong.
Dane (super genius, billionaire, former slut, abandonment issues) starts some medical tech company and brings his two BFFs, Avril (also super smart) and Drew (also super smart, heart of gold) along for the ride. They've been BFFs for 17 years and are all relatively happy with life and business. When Avril catches her current boyfriend cheating on her, she kicks his ass to the curb because that girl ain't no fool!!! The guys are there to comfort their friend, because of course they are!! Well Dane is a super whore and he is also a member of the Wicked Horse. He doesn't do relationships at all, so that's where his extremely active sex life exists. Avril decides to get back on the sex horse (ha! get what I did there! Sex horse / Wicked Horse! I'm hilarious) so she and Drew tag along with Dane to the sex club.
Well, our BFFs all have a semi attraction to each other, but none have acted on it, and they never planned to ... but then..... Drew is getting blown by a woman and glances across the room to see Avril getting licked by someone. Their eyes connect and they both have an insane orgasm. All the while, Dane is upstairs watching them both while getting his own BJ and he, too, has a wicked O.
Well things get tricky dicky from there. Drew realizes relatively quickly that he's not a sex club kind of guy. He's relationship material with hearts and flowers. Avril and Dane still want to go to the club and get their freak on, and eventually they give into their desire for each other.
I'm going to cut you off there as far as summary goes. You can guess that there's something that happens that will split the besties apart, but it wasn't the thing that I thought it would be. When the breakup happened, I actually shed a couple of tears!!!! In the end - there's a HEA for sure.
The sex was mega hot, the love was real, I loved all the characters, and nobody annoyed me at all! Gasp - I'm as shocked as you are.
AUDIO. It's good and I felt more connected to the characters because of it. I will say the female narrator had a lot of re-recordings and it was noticeable. The male narrator voiced both guys, and he didn't change his voice at all. That said - the character name is said at the beginning of the chapter so you just have to pay attention to that.
I thought this one was better than the first two books. I can't wait to continue the series.

This is by far my favourite in the Wicked Horse Vegas series.
By far.
I love the sex club element of this story, but for me it is the dynamic between Dane, Avril and Andrew that is the story here.
Wicked Envy is sexy AF but it is also a heck of a lot more emotional than the previous books in the series - and I love it.
I don't want to give anything away about this story, but believe me when I say you aren't going to want to miss this one.
I am still hanging out for Kynan's story though.
Looking forward to what 's Bennett brings us next.

Wicked Envy might be one of the hottest books I've ever read. Three best friends since college run a company together. Two guys and a woman. One of the guys has a wicked horse membership, and wow.
The characters each have their chapters where they share their inner thoughts, and I was touched by all of them in different ways. Avril is my kind of woman, and I really enjoyed both Dane and Andrew as well.

Best friends since college, and then set up in business together, we meet this happy bunch after many years of unspoken boundaries that have never been crossed.
Dane Hawthorne is the driven entrepreneur of the bunch, who set up a now thriving business and included his best friends Andrew Collings and Avril Carrigan in the top positions alongside him.
They’ve each had their own personal dalliances outside their work/friend relationships, with Dane’s being on the more exhibitionist side. Being a member of the Wicked Horse, Dane is used to an unlimited supply of like minded individuals, but what he wasn’t expecting was a request from Avril to show her not just the ropes, but everything else that the club has to offer.
What Sawyer does best is lure us into the turning point in this three starred relationship, and how one night changes everyones perception that has stood them in good stead for well over a decade.
I enjoyed the chemistry, experiencing new and old emotions through Av, Dane and Drew. I also savoured the backstory of their visits to the club, which crossed timelines with other characters within this series.
This book was depicted slightly differently from the previous two in the series due to it being less centred around the club.

OMG this was freaking good! I loved the friendship between Andrew, Avril, and Dane, not to mention the fact that they really knew how to have a good time. HOT, HOT, HOT is all I can say. I enjoyed watching the three friends cross the line of friendship to lovers, especially when the lines became so blurry you knew there was no way they would ever go back to being just friends.
Sawyer Bennett knows her way around a great story, whether she is writing about friends to lovers or just a couple of strangers finding their HEA I know that I am in for a good read because Ms. Bennett is sure to take you on an exciting journey that you really feel you're a part of and witnessing first hand.

Wicked Envy almost felt like the start of something new. More emotional than I was expecting, this book really captured me.
Avril, our heroine, is a strong woman who was beaten down by life. I loved her perseverance. Her friendships. The men, Dane and Andrew, were sexy and tough.
Overall, Wicked Envy is beautifully written, paced well, and has a few twists I didn’t expect. It was passionate and intense. Each book in this series just gets hotter in my opinion, and I can’t wait for what comes next.

I purposely picked this book up because I wanted to read something steamy. Having read the Wicked Horse series and a few of the Wicked Horse Vegas books, I knew what I was going to get and was not disappointed. This was an off the charts, smoking hot, entertaining fast-paced read! I liked the characters and the story and had a great time reading it.
First of all, this sucker is cold-shower-inducing-hot. Like, flames were coming out of my Kindle. I liked the characters and loved that it was from three different POVs. I felt it was clear from the start who the main guy is with Avril so there isn't really a love triangle happening, though there is definitely some threesome action. Just three really good, close friends, that take that friendship a little farther as feelings of love happen for two of them. There’s some mild drama, a bit of emotion, and a whole lot of heat happening.
I liked the characters. Dane had some things he needed to work out and I though it was presented well. Avril had some stuff she was going through as well and I liked how she was dealing with it, stepping outside of her shell, trying new things, and embracing a newfound freedom. Andrew was a sweetheart and I liked that he was pushing his boundaries and putting himself out there. I liked their friendship and dynamic. It made for some pretty awesome scenes - in and out of the bedroom.
The writing was really good. It wasn’t super in depth but there was good character development, I liked the evolution of the characters, and really enjoyed the overall storyline… and all the heat. That want and need, and all the sexy had me hooked. If you want a steamy story that’s not too taxing and loves a good threesome, this is your read!

This series keeps getting better and better, hotter and hotter. I can't get enough of this series and you can't help but to love these books. I didn't even read the blurb before starting so I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Once I started this book, I could not put it down! Wicked Envy was completely captivating and I never wanted the story to end!
This series continues to explore sexual boundaries and push right on past them. In this third instalment of the series, three best friends explore their relationship outside of the confines of the mutual love they have for their friendship. Pushing past those boundaries opens them up to more than they ever expected or thought to dream of.
Dane, Avril, and Andrew are an unlikely group of friends that have been inseparable since college. They are always there for one another and are now in business together seventeen years later. So when Avril is dealing with a broken heart and decides to explore her sexuality at The Wicked Horse, Dane and Andrew are right by her side.
These characters sucked me in and it was hard not to fall completely in love with them and be sucked into their stories. These three friends grew so much throughout their journey and it was an absolute pleasure to see, Dane especially. He didn't have the past start in life and therefore had quite a few insecurities and issues but it was great to see him move past those and finally realise what he really deserved.
Sawyer Bennett definitely did her absolute best at ramping up the sexiness in this book. It was an intense and passionate ride that had me glued to the edge of my seat, turning pages as fast as I possibly could. This series keeps on getting better and I can't wait for the next book!

This is the 3rd book of the series based around the Wicked Horse in Las Vegas. This series is different from the original in that we meet patrons of the club and not the staff as we did in the first series. So this one is about Avril, Dane, and Andrew---best friends for 17 years and colleagues at Dane's biotech company. Dane is a member of the Wicked Horse and suggests to Andrew that they go blow off steam. Avril takes exception that she wasn't invited. Ultimately they all end up there and after some hot voyeur sessions between them all, they add s3x partners to their relationship status.
All of the Wicked Horse books are super steamy and this one was no exception. However, I just didn't feel that "oh my goodness" response I have gotten from many of the other books. I don't know if it was because the three leads were already best friends and new everything about each other or if it was because it seemed a stretch that after their long friendship, they all decided that this was a good move for them. Something didn't sit right with me.
The story is told in all 3 POV. I think in the end I liked Andrew the best. His character seemed the most genuine. If anyone deserves an HEA, it is him.
I'll keep reading because I do enjoy this author and overall I like this series. Looking forward to what she brings us next.

This is the third book in the Vegas Wicked Horse series. It is a complete standalone told in multiple POVs - Dane, Avril and Andrew. This novel is a little different to the other Wicked books. Don’t fret, there is still plenty of steamy sex and strong bonds between the main characters. And that’s what I love the most with these stories. The intense connection they have but this one has added affiliation and alliances to bring it up to another level.
Dane is the owner of Caterva BioTech and could only see his college best friends, Avril and Andrew, help him run it. For 17 years this trio have made a huge success from their combined skills achieving their career goals. Now it’s time to explore other fantasies. So it’s off to the Wicked Horse Club where they can get their kink on.
This wasn’t so much of a love triangle as it was about learning self worth, forgiveness, second chances, and taking that huge step of trusting someone with your heart. They went on a self discovering journey together that had some role reversals. The only failure here would be letting go of the one and best thing to happen in your personal life.
I always enjoy a Sawyer Bennett Book, whether it be a Wicked Horse collection or a standalone. I enjoy her characters because they have depth and passion, there is also humor and angst to give it a well rounded feel. This series is just getting better and better.

Sawyer Bennett turns up the heat in this intense, sexy as hell friends to lovers romance. There is nothing PG about this book. The story starts off with a bang and never lets up. I quickly became emotionally invested, which led to some heartbreak along the way.
Dane Hawthorne, mega-millionaire entrepreneur, is a frequent patron of The Wicked Horse Vegas. He can get his rocks off while avoiding emotional attachments.
"It's hedonism without guilt. It's unshackling yourself from inhibition. It's about truly discovering exactly who you are, and, more importantly, you'll come out liking what you find out. When you let go like that, all of your troubles will just seem to melt away."
Dane's not sure how he feels when his best friend/business partner Avril Carrigan decides to check out the exclusive club. Avril had broken up with her cheating boyfriend and is ready for some self-discovery.
Andrew Collings is the third best friend/business partner. He joins Avril on her quest for liberation at The Wicked Horse. It's a turning point for Avril, Andrew and Dane. Their 17 year friendship takes a turn into some hedonistic kinkery. Until Dane and Avril connection changes everything. Now that they all crossed the line can they keep their friendship intact?
I really enjoyed the passionate friendship. They intensely care about each other. Their 17 year bond makes their sexual connection even more intense. The author melted the pages with her provocative but romantic story telling. 5 Stars!

2.5 threesome stars😉. This was a ok story of friendship and what happens when they decide to embark on more than the platonic nature of their relationships. With just the right amount of angst and drama, this was a really ok read. Not one of my favs but it was sure was entertaining.
